Chapter 1      Digital Module Operation in a Control System
Controller and Software 
Compatibility
Controller and programming software compatibility requirements apply when 
you use Compact 5000 I/O digital modules. A module type and how it is used 
affect which requirements apply.
You must also consider Logix Designer application version requirements when 
you design your system. For example, you can use safety modules only with the 
Logix Designer application, version 32 or greater.
Controller Compatibility
Compatibility between Logix 5000 controllers and Compact 5000 I/O digital 
modules varies based on module type and location. That is, whether the 
module is standard or safety and whether it is local or remote.
For example, CompactLogix™ 5380 and CompactLogix 5480 controllers are 
compatible with local or remote Compact 5000 I/O standard modules. 
Compact GuardLogix® 5380 controllers are compatible with local or remote 
Compact 5000 I/O digital modules.
Software Compatibility
Compact 5000 I/O digital modules are supported in different minimum 
versions of the Logix Designer application.
For example, Compact 5000 I/O standard modules support the Logix 
Designer application, version 28 or later. Compact 5000 I/O safety modules 
support the Logix Designer application, version 32 or later.

IMPORTANT Logix 5000 controllers support different minimum versions of Logix Designer 
application. You must consider the different device requirements when you 
design your system.
For example, to use a 5069-IB16 input module with a 5069-L330ERM 
controller, you can use the Logix Designer application, version 29 or later. 
However, to use a 5069-IB16 input module with a 5069-L350ERM controller, 
you can use the Logix Designer application, version 30 or later.
